There has been no video of them doing anything other than walking around with backpacks.

If, you are from a war torn country that has an insurgence of radical islamist and all the sudden you see your picture blasted across America as "the alleged or suspected bombers" and there is a manhunt for you!

You panic and run; see a cop outside your dorm, panic and it gets worse; got o get gas, panic and now it's insane; the rest is still playing out.

One of them is now dead so, there is no turning back for either side now.

I'm not saying any of what I am posting is true but, stranger things have happened.

That's almost as big a stretch as electing an unqualified community organizer to be POTUS and expecting something other than failure.

A Saudi national originally identified as a “person of interest” in the Boston Marathon bombing was set to be deported under section 212 3B — “Security and related grounds” — “Terrorist activities” after the bombing

As the story gained traction, TheBlaze’s Chief Content Officer Joel Cheatwood received word that the government may not deport the Saudi national, originally identified as Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi

An ICE official said a different Saudi national is in custody, but is “in no way” connected to the bombings.

A congressional source, however, says that the file on Alharbi was created, that he was “linked” in some way to the Boston bombings (though it is unclear how), and that documents showing all this have been sent to Congress.

Key congressmen of the Committee on Homeland Security request a classified briefing with Napolitano

Fox News’ Todd Starnes reports that Alharbi was allegedly flagged on a terrorist watch list and granted a student visa without being properly vetted. Sources close to the investigation also told him the Saudi is still set for deportation.

New information provided to TheBlaze reveals Alharbi’s file was altered early Wednesday evening to disassociate him from the initial charges

Sources say the Saudi’s student visa specifically allows him to go to school in Findlay, Ohio, though he appears to have an apartment in Boston, Massachusetts

Sources tell us this will most likely now be kicked from the DHS to the DOJ and labeled an ongoing investigation that can no longer be discussed.

I believe those charges are brought at the state level and federal charges trump state charges.

The fed charges carry a penalty of death, something that MA doesn't have.

No these are federal charges aka USA vs him!

The killing of a police officer is not a federal charge. It is brought at the state level. It will be the State of Ma v. the defendent. The federal charges of using a WMD and causing malicious damage with a WMD will be prosecuted by the US government. Those federal charges will take precedence over the state charges. That is how our justice system works.

No, the murder charge against a police officer is a state charge unless there are extenuating circumstances, crossing state lines to do it, while robbing a bank or if it was a federal law enforcement officer.
